LaMelo Ball Questionable for Thursday's Matchup in Orlando
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (thumb) is listed as questionable for the second game of his team's back-to-back, which is scheduled for Thursday night in Orlando. Charlotte played the star guard off the bench on Wednesday against the Cavaliers, and he went just 1-for-15 from the field in 22 minutes while also picking up this thumb contusion that has his status uncertain for Thursday. If Ball is out, Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel would have to pick up the scoring slack, while Collin Sexton would also need to step into more usage. Sexton has been excellent lately, so if Ball is out, he should be a strong play in Orlando, where the Magic will also remain without Jalen Suggs (ankle), who was ruled out earlier on Thursday.

Moussa Cisse Upgraded to Probable
Dallas Mavericks center Moussa Cisse (illness) will likely be active on Thursday night for his team's home game against the Warriors. He was upgraded from questionable to probable and will likely serve as the team's primary backup center behind Dwight Powell since Daniel Gafford (ankle) was downgraded to doubtful. Cisse has put together three straight strong games with Gafford out, with at least nine points and nine rebounds in each of those three games. He had a double-double to start that run against the Jazz and finished with 15 points, nine rebounds, four blocked shots, and a steal in only 20 minutes against the Knicks on Monday. If he's active and Gafford is out as expected, Cisse could be a sneaky source of rebounds and blocks against Golden State on Thursday's slate.

Daniel Gafford Downgraded to Doubtful Thursday Against Golden State
Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Thursday night's home game against the Warriors. Gafford has missed three straight games with his right ankle sprain and doesn't look likely to return Thursday. With Anthony Davis (finger) also sidelined, Dwight Powell and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely get most of the playing time in the middle, although Moussa Cisse (illness) was upgraded from questionable to probable and will probably be able to serve as Powell's primary backup against Golden State.

Khris Middleton Upgraded to Available Thursday Against Denver
Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (illness) was upgraded from questionable to available for his team's rematch with the Nuggets on Thursday. The veteran forward had 16 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in Denver last Saturday and has been turning in good numbers in the absence of Bilal Coulibaly (back) for the last week. Middleton will likely start alongside Kyshawn George in the frontcourt on Thursday, with Justin Champagnie and rookie Will Riley carrying the workload off the bench. With Couliably downgraded to out, Middleton, George, and Champagnie are interesting options as value DFS plays or streamers against the Nuggets.

Bilal Coulibaly Not Ready to Return Thursday
Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (back) was downgraded from questionable to out for Thursday night's game against the Nuggets. Coulibay has been sidelined since last Wednesday when he left his team'sloss to the Clippers in the second quarter with lower back tightness. While he has been out, Justin Champagnie has been getting more work, while Kyshawn George has been getting more usage. Khris Middleton (illness) was also listed as questionable but was upgraded to available for Thursday night's matchup and will likely help pick up some of Coulibaly's workload as well.

Josh Giddey Likely to Play Thursday Against the Timberwolves
Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) was upgraded from questionable to probable for Thursday night's matchup in Minnesota. Giddey has been sidelined for more than three weeks since Dec. 29 with his hamstring injury, and his return will be a huge boost for the Bulls' offense. Before the injury, Giddey averaged 19.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and 0.9 steals in 33 minutes per game. He will likely need to ramp up after such a long time off, but his return will take playing time and usage from Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter, and Ayo Dosunmu.

Jalen Suggs Ruled Out Thursday
Orlando Magic point guard Jalen Suggs (knee) was downgraded from questionable to out on Thursday ahead of his team's home game against the Hornets. Suggs will miss his eighth straight game due to right knee MCL contusion, although he seems to be nearing a return. Head coach Jamahl Mosley said that Suggs responded well after a full practice on Wednesday, so he could be back in action soon. His next chance to return will be Saturday against the Cavaliers, and until then, Anthony Black will continue to take on more work with Tyus Jones and Jase Richardson playing more minutes as well.

Mack Hollins Returns to Practice
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) returned to practice on Thursday, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Head coach Mike Vrabel said the team wouldn't open Hollins' 21-day practice window on Wednesday, but they did so a day later. It's good news for the veteran 32-year-old pass catcher, who has been on Injured Reserve since Dec. 27, but it doesn't mean he'll officially be activated and play in the NFC Championship game this Sunday versus the hosting Denver Broncos. In his first year with the Patriots in 2025, Hollins served as a deep threat for young quarterback Drake Maye, hauling in 46 of his 65 targets for 550 yards and only two touchdowns in 15 regular-season games. If Hollins returns this weekend, his snap count could be limited, making him hard to trust for fantasy purposes against a strong Denver defense. UPDATE: Hollins was limited in his return to practice on Thursday.

Multiple Teams Monitoring Luis Arraez
According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, multiple teams remain interested in free-agent first baseman Luis Arraez. Feinsand noted that, given his ability to play both first and second base, he has multiple suitors in the open market. Last season, the 28-year-old posted a .292 AVG, which was the lowest mark of his seven-year MLB career. He hit eight home runs and swiped 11 bags. Under the hood, he generated an elite 96th percentile xBA with a 3.1% K%, placing him within the 100th percentile among qualified hitters. From 2022 through 2024, Arraez held an overall .328/.371/.426 line with a .797 OPS. While his power production remains low, Arraez will be a top batting-average contributor in 2026, given his elite quality of contact. His counting stats could also see an uptick if he were to join a competing lineup.

Boston to Increase Pursuit of Eugenio Suarez?
According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Boston Red Sox are a team that could make a push for top free-agent third baseman Eugenio Suarez. Saurez has been linked to the Red Sox throughout the winter, and following the signings of Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette, and Cody Bellinger, the third baseman is likely the top bat available. According to Feinsand, the Red Sox were pursuing both Bregman and Bichette before they signed their respective contracts. The 34-year-old would take on an everyday role at the hot corner in Boston and would shift young infielder Marcelo Mayer back to the middle of the infield, where he spent most of his minor league career. Last summer, Suarez enjoyed a resurgent campaign, hitting 49 home runs with a .228 AVG and an .824 OPS. Surez would carry a mid-range starting third base value in all formats if he were to join the Red Sox.

Yankees Could Look to Add Another Starting Pitcher
According to Gary Phillips of The New York Daily News, the Yankees could look to further bolster their starting rotation ahead of spring training. Phillips noted that, even though a target of theirs, Freddy Peralta, was shipped to the Mets on Wednesday evening, they remain linked to several high-end trade targets, including MacKenzie Gore of the Nationals and Sandy Alcantara of the Marlins. The Yankees have also shown interest in Minnesota's top arms, Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez, but reports suggest the Twins are likely to hold them for the time being. Earlier in January, the Yankees acquired Ryan Weathers, who projects to hold a spot towards the back of their rotation. However, given that Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Carlos Rodon (elbow) will likely miss the start of the season, the Yankees could look to further bolster their rotation. If they were to make a trade, Phillips noted that the price would be high and could involve a trade of top outfield prospect Spencer Jones or current outfielder Jasson Dominguez.

Robert Gasser Could Earn Starting Role in Milwaukee
According to Will Sammon and Chad Jennings of The Athletic, Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitcher Robert Gasser could be a name to watch to earn a role in the starting rotation. On Wednesday evening, the Brewers traded their top pitcher, Freddy Peralta, to the New York Mets in exchange for two top prospects, Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams. While veteran Brandon Woodruff is expected to lead the rotation with emerging right-hander Jacob Misiorowski slotting behind him, the back of the rotation is open. Quinn Priester and Chad Patrick are projected to operate as the No. 3 and No. 4, but Gasser could be a name to watch for one of the final positions. The young southpaw has made seven MLB starts over his career and logged 33 2/3 innings to the tune of a 2.67 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. Through 205 2/3 innings at Triple-A, Gasser has struck out 250 hitters with a 3.72 ERA. While Logan Henderson would likely have the edge for the final position, Gasser could make a strong claim to operate as the No. 6 starter if the team uses a six-man rotation. He is a name to monitor in spring training and could be worth a late-round selection in deeper formats.

Christian Scott Ticketed for Depth Role in New York?
New York Mets right-handed pitcher Christian Scott appears ticked for a depth role to begin the 2026 regular season. According to Will Sammon and Chad Jennings of The Athletic, Scott is projected to sit behind newly-acquired ace Freddy Peralta and the other primary starting pitchers on the roster, such as Sean Manaea, David Peterson, Kodai Senga, Nolan McLean, and Clay Holmes, leaving him a role as a middle reliever. Scott made his MLB debut during the 2024 campaign and posted a 4.56 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP across 47 1/3 innings. Earlier that season, the Florida product posted an impressive 2.76 ERA with a 0.97 WHIP across his first 42 1/3 innings at Triple-A. However, the right-hander would undergo a hybrid Tommy John operation in late 2024, which kept him on the shelf all last season. While he appears to be at full strength, Scott does not expect to hold much fantasy value to begin the 2026 campaign.

Jonah Tong Falling Out of Rotation Spot?
According to Will Sammon and Chad Jennings of The Athletic, New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong may be on the outside of the team's starting rotation to begin the 2026 season. On Wednesday evening, the Mets acquired right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta from the Brewers, who is now slated to lead the rotation. In exchange, the Mets sent two top prospects, Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat. While Tong was already sitting towards the back of the current rotation, Sammon and Jennings project the young right-hander to open the season as a depth option, sitting behind Peralta, Sean Manaea, David Peterson, Clay Holmes, Nolan McLean, and Kodai Senga. While Tong could be shifted to the bullpen, it appears the team's No. 4 prospect may begin the season with Triple-A to continue his development. During his first look at the majors, Tong held a high 7.71 ERA across 18 2/3 innings. For now, he is best left for deeper NL-only formats as a late-round stash option.

Falcons Choose Tommy Rees for Offensive-Coordinator Role
Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees has agreed to terms with the Atlanta Falcons to become their offensive coordinator, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. New Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski didn't waste much time bringing of play-caller from the Browns over to the NFC South. To begin the 2025 season in Cleveland, Stefanski called the plays for the Browns' offense, but Rees was allowed to take over once the team went with rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. It's unclear at this time who will call plays to start the year in Atlanta next season. The lack of success from Cleveland's offense under Rees wasn't a huge surprise, given the lack of experience in the room, but in Atlanta, Rees and Stefanski will have a lot more to work with on offense with running back Bijan Robinson, receiver Drake London, and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr.

Dolphins Request to Interview Jerrod Johnson for Offensive-Coordinator Role
The Miami Dolphins have requested to interview Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson for their offensive-coordinator role, a source told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Quarterback C.J. Stroud thrived while working with Johnson in his rookie campaign in 2023, but he's regressed in each of the last two seasons. If Johnson were to land in Miami, it's unclear who he'd be working with at the QB position, with the Dolphins likely to move on from Tua Tagovailoa now that previous head coach Mike McDaniel is no longer in town. Johnson was a candidate to replace former OC Bobby Slowik in Houston, but the job eventually went to Nick Caley, who is expected to stick around for a second season in 2026. The 37-year-old has also been an assistant coach with the San Francisco 49ers, Indianapolis Colts, and Minnesota Vikings.

Eagles Request to Interview Declan Doyle for Offensive-Coordinator Position
The Philadelphia Eagles requested to interview Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle for their offensive-coordinator position, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Doyle was hired last offseason as the league's youngest offensive coordinator, and he previously coached under head coach Sean Payton with the New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos. With a move to Philly, Doyle would be able to call the plays for the first time in his career. Under Doyle in 2025, Chicago's offense finished ninth in points per game and made it all the way to the Divisional Round, where they nearly beat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime. Quarterback Caleb Williams also showed marked improvement in his second NFL season under Doyle and first-year head coach Ben Johnson. If Doyle joins the Eagles, he will be looking to spark an Eagles offense that became stagnant this past season.

Sean Payton Continues to Praise Jarrett Stidham
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that quarterback Jarrett Stidham's football IQ and his composure/calmness are "elite," according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Payton continues to build up Stidham's confidence as the 29-year-old backup prepares for his first NFL start since 2023 in the AFC Championship this Sunday against the New England Patriots. Stidham will be the No. 4 fantasy QB going into this weekend's action after starter Bo Nix suffered a broken ankle in the Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills. Stidham has a strong arm, is accurate, and knows Payton's system well, so he might not be much of a downgrade over Nix if he performs up to his capabilities against New England. It won't be easy, though, against a Patriots defense that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to QBs over the last five weeks.

Carlos Rodon Likely to Return in May?
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow) should return to action "sometime around May," according to Brendan Kuty of The Athletic. Rodon has been sidelined since October after undergoing surgery to remove loose bodies and to shave down a bone spur in his left elbow. He was effective when healthy last year, posting a 3.78 FIP, 9.4 K/9, and 3.4 K/9 across 33 starts (195.1 innings). Although New York will open the 2026 season without Rodon and Gerrit Cole (elbow), the organization reportedly feels good about its rotation headlined by Max Fried, Will Warren, Cam Schlittler, and newcomer Ryan Weathers. Rodon's proven track record makes him an intriguing fantasy option, even though he won't be ready for Opening Day. As it stands, he ranks as the #59 starting pitcher in RotoBaller's latest 2026 fantasy baseball draft rankings.

Kutter Crawford Likely Ready for Start of Camp
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford (wrist) is expected to begin camp with the rest of the pitching staff, according to president of baseball operations Craig Breslow (via Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic). Crawford resumed throwing earlier this month, and as long as he stays healthy through spring training, he should compete for an Opening Day roster spot. The competition won't be easy, though. The Red Sox added Ranger Suarez and Sonny Gray behind Garrett Crochet this offseason, and Brayan Bello should earn the No. 4 starter role if he's not traded. Assuming Boston opens the year with a five-man rotation, that leaves one spot for Crawford, Johan Oviedo, Patrick Sandoval (elbow), Connelly Early, Payton Tolle, or Kyle Harrison. The pitchers who don't make the Opening Day rotation will end up in the bullpen or Triple-A. Crawford is the most familiar face of that group, racking up 313 innings between 2023 and 2024. During the 2024 campaign, he made a whopping 33 starts, posting a 4.35 xFIP, 8.6 K/9, and 2.5 BB/9. He missed all of last year due to wrist surgery.

Patrick Sandoval is Throwing, Will Compete for a Roster Spot
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval (elbow) has resumed throwing and is expected to begin camp with the rest of the pitching staff, according to president of baseball operations Craig Breslow (via Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic). Sandoval hasn't pitched in an MLB game since June 2024 due to elbow surgery. Boston inked him to a two-year deal before last season in hopes that he could recover during 2025 before pitching meaningful innings in 2026. As it stands, it appears that Sandoval is on pace to do just that. However, even if healthy, he'll face competition in Boston's revamped rotation. The Red Sox added Ranger Suarez and Sonny Gray behind Garrett Crochet, and Brayan Bello should earn the No. 4 starter role if he's not traded. That leaves one rotation spot for Sandoval, Johan Oviedo, Kutter Crawford (wrist), Connelly Early, Payton Tolle, or Kyle Harrison. The pitchers who don't make the Opening Day rotation will end up in the bullpen or Triple-A. Sandoval could certainly be the victor of that group, as he's a veteran arm who has impressed in the past. Over 79.2 innings with the Angels in 2024, he posted a 3.87 FIP, 9.2 K/9, and 4.0 BB/9. This competition will be worth monitoring as spring training gets underway and Opening Day inches closer.

Red Sox Prefer Marcelo Mayer at Third Base?
The Boston Red Sox continue to explore potential infield additions, but Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports that the organization prefers to play infielder Marcelo Mayer at third base. McCaffrey speculates that Mayer would be a strong fit at the hot corner, not only because he played well in Alex Bregman's absence last year, but also because Boston views him as its franchise shortstop after Trevor Story's contract expires, so they'd like to keep him on the left side of the infield. Plus, although president of baseball operations Craig Breslow wouldn't commit to Mayer at second base or third base, he did emphasize a desire to improve the infield defense. Mayer posted 2 OAA and 2 FRV at third base last year. Connecting the dots, this would seem to indicate that if the Red Sox do pursue an external addition, they may prefer a second baseman over a third baseman. McCaffrey writes that Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner, who would fetch a significant haul if traded, might make more sense than third baseman Isaac Paredes, who has struggled defensively. As the roster currently stands, Mayer projects to play third base while Romy Gonzalez, Nate Eaton, and Nick Sogard could platoon at second.

Ivan Herrera Begins Throwing, Role Remains Uncertain
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera (elbow) began throwing earlier this month, and manager Oliver Marmol said that he should start hitting and defensive drills this week. Marmol wasn't ready to commit to an exact role for Herrera, who could catch or play left field. The skipper noted that spring training games don't offer the best opportunity for the Cardinals to evaluate Herrera behind the dish, since opponents don't always start their best players, and they also don't steal as often. As a result, they might not have an exact vision for his role until after the regular season begins. The team does expect Herrera to demonstrate improved throwing after he underwent an offseason surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow. Meanwhile, Herrera has expressed his desire to be an everyday catcher in the future. However, as he continues to work his way back from injury, St. Louis is being non-committal about his role. We wouldn't be surprised to see him play some catcher and some left field during the first couple weeks of the regular season. Cardinals fans and fantasy managers will certainly be excited to see him back in action, as Herrera posted an impressive .284/.373/.464 slash line with 19 home runs and a 137 wRC+ through 107 games last year. He currently ranks as the #11 catcher in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball draft rankings.

Taylor Rogers Signs One-Year Deal With Twins
Free-agent relief pitcher Taylor Rogers is coming back to Minnesota after agreeing on a one-year, $2 million contract with the Twins. Rogers spent the first six seasons of his MLB career with the Twins, posting a career-high 30 saves in 2019 and earning an All-Star selection in 2021. He spent time with the Padres, Brewers, Giants, Reds, and Cubs in the four seasons since his departure, and last year, he had a 3.38 ERA and a 4.38 FIP in 50 2/3 innings with the Reds and Cubs. The 35-year-old lefty could be a key part of the Twins' bullpen in 2026, and he could even be in the mix for saves since the rest of the bullpen is relatively inexperienced.

Justin Joly a Vertical-Threat TE Prospect in 2026 Class
NC State tight end Justin Joly has been one of the most productive players at the position over the last three college football seasons. The 21-year-old New York native began his career at UConn before spending his junior and senior seasons with the Wolfpack, hauling in 92 receptions for 1,150 yards and 11 touchdowns. He enjoyed great success at NC State, but his breakout campaign came as a sophomore with the Huskies in 2023, when he tallied 56 catches for 578 yards and two scores. The 2025 first-team All-ACC selection is viewed as one of the top five tight ends in the 2026 NFL Draft class, and he's currently projected to be a third-round selection in April. Joly thrives running intermediate and deep routes, making him a strong TE2 and second tight end in 12-personnel at the next level. His landing spot will determine his upside and placement in dynasty rookie drafts as part of a shallow incoming rookie tight end class.

Brandon Woodruff Having a Normal Offseason
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (lat) is having a normal offseason, and his progress was a critical element to the team trading starting pitcher Freddy Peralta to the Mets, according to president of baseball operations Matt Arnold. Woodruff opted out of his deal but then accepted the qualifying offer from the Brewers this offseason, giving him a one-year deal worth $22.025 million. Woodruff returned from a nearly two-year absence due to shoulder surgery in 2025, posting a strong 3.20 ERA, with 83 strikeouts and just 14 walks in 64 2/3 innings. His season ended early due to a lat injury in mid-September, but he should be ready to go for Spring Training. He'll provide a proven veteran option at the top of the team's promising young rotation.

Yankees Looking for Help Behind the Plate
The New York Yankees secured a big part of their lineup by re-signing outfielder Cody Bellinger, but they're still looking to make some further tweaks to their roster. One item on the shopping list, according to New York Daily News' Gary Phillips, is a right-handed hitter who catches. All three of the Yankees' current catchers hit left-handed, and even though Ben Rice, Austin Wells, and J.C Escarra bring good production potential, they are a little lop-sided. Free agent catchers J.T. Realmuto, Danny Jansen, Austin Hedges, and Victor Caratini are all right-handed options who have already signed this offseason, with Elias Diaz, Christian Vasquez, and Mitch Garver among some of the top right-handed hitting catchers available on the open market. The team could also make a trade to fill the need before pitchers and catchers report in a few weeks.

Giants Request to Interview Willie Taggart for Offensive-Coordinator Job
The New York Giants have requested to interview Baltimore Ravens assistant head coach/running backs coach Willie Taggart for their offensive-coordinator role, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The former Florida State and Oregon head coach was a member of former Ravens head coach and new Giants head coach John Harbaugh's staff in Baltimore for three seasons. Taggart's job as the Ravens' RBs coach was made easier by the fact that he had one of the most dominant players in the league in Derrick Henry, who steamrolled his way to 3,516 rushing yards the last two seasons. If Harbaugh can't get former offensive coordinator Todd Monken to follow him to New York -- he's a finalist for the head-coaching job with the Cleveland Browns -- Taggart could be the fallback option. The Giants' OC position is very attractive, with high-end talent at quarterback (Jaxson Dart), RB (Cam Skattebo), and receiver (Malik Nabers).

Could Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones Be Available?
New York Yankees outfielders Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones could be shopped in trade offers after the Yankees locked up Cody Bellinger for the next five seasons. The Yankees have Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham to fill their everyday outfield spots, while Giancarlo Stanton will likely be the everyday DH. Dominguez and Jones each have long-term offensive potential but could benefit from regular playing time, which will be hard to come by for the Yankees. Dominguez is the more likely of the two young bats to be moved since he isn't considered a long-term option in center field, while Jones could slide into that spot if Grisham leaves after this season as a free agent. Dominguez is a highly regarded offensive prospect who hit .257 with 10 homers and 23 stolen bases to go with a .316 wOBA in 123 games. The Yankees would likely be looking for starting pitching in return, and it seems likely that they make some moves to relieve the logjam before the start of the season.

Buccaneers Finalizing a Deal to Hire Zac Robinson as Offensive Coordinator
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are finalizing a deal to hire Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson as their offensive coordinator, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Robinson will stay in the NFC South and join Tampa after running the Falcons' offense the last two years under previous head coach Raheem Morris. Before that, Robinson spent five years working under Sean McVay, eventually serving as the OC for the Los Angeles Rams for his last two years there. He had a lot to work with in Atlanta, but Robinson just couldn't get the Falcons over the hump, as they finished 24th in scoring offense in 2025. However, with Bijan Robinson at running back, the team was in the top 10 in rushing yards in each of the last two seasons. Robinson will now look to help quarterback Baker Mayfield bounce back in 2026.
